365/115: 14 June 2010: A Welsh River

Spent the evening in Betws-y-Coed ahead of meetings at Trawsfynydd the next day. Quite a pleasant evening so took a stroll into the village and took lots of photos which i think I’ll be using for my next assignment.
Not tried one of these blurred water shots properly before but as the accessible waterfalls were in the shade it seemed a natural thing to do. For those that don’t already know the effect is achieved by putting the camera somewhere sturdy and stable (a tripod is ideal, but a handy rock will do) then reducing the aperture to get a nice long shutter speed.

Seriously – how cute is this?
